The other day Grandma Chen accidentally twisted her waist while moving flower pots. The old man thought he would be fine after taking a break, but he couldn’t get up again due to pain once he laid down. The family sent Grandma Zhang to the hospital, where doctors examined her in detail and found that she had a serious spinal compression fracture caused by osteoporosis, which required surgery. The doctor performed a “posterior percutaneous balloon dilatation vertebroplasty” for the old man. During the operation, a needle with a balloon was inserted into the affected area of the patient’s spine through a long syringe, and then the balloon at the front of the needle was gradually inflated like a balloon by external pressure, and after the “balloon” filled up the entire vertebral space, a white gel called “bone cement” was injected into the “balloon”. After the “balloon” fills the entire vertebral space, a white gel called “bone cement” is injected into the cavity held up by the “balloon”. In less than half an hour, the surgery was successfully completed. There was no wound on Grandma Chen’s body except for one needle hole. The day after the surgery, the old man was walking on the ground. Osteoporosis is a very common disease among the elderly in modern times. Once an elderly person with osteoporosis falls or sits on the ground while walking, he or she is prone to compression fractures of the thoracic or lumbar vertebrae, resulting in a “wedge” or “fishbone” shaped change in vertebrae compression. With the accelerated aging process in our society, this disease has become a common disease that seriously affects the quality of life of the elderly. Elderly people suffering from this disease usually have to be bedridden for a long time due to pain and inability to stand. In the advanced stage of the disease, the injured vertebrae further atrophy and the deformity worsens, which also leads to the reduction of thoracic volume, hypoxia and cardiopulmonary dysfunction, thus threatening life. In the past, the treatment method generally chose to let the patient rest in a hard bed for about 6 weeks, so that the fractured vertebrae slowly recover. However, long-term sedation may accelerate the progression of osteoporosis and may also cause a variety of bed rest complications such as lung infection, deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, and urinary tract infection. Therefore, the key to treating osteoporotic spine fractures is to quickly relieve pain, get the patient to the floor early, and interrupt the vicious cycle. The emerging “percutaneous vertebroplasty” is a minimally invasive spine technique developed in recent years, in which the patient’s dorsal skin is punctured with a special needle under X-ray fluoroscopy to the compressed and deformed vertebrae, and then a miniature balloon is inserted into the channel. The balloon is then filled with contrast to expand the balloon and support the fractured and collapsed vertebra, restoring it to its normal state and creating a cavity within the vertebra. The balloon is then removed and a new type of “bone cement” is injected into the cavity to restore the original shape of the compressed and deformed vertebrae to enhance the stiffness and strength of the vertebral body and rebuild the stability of the spine to relieve pain, correct the kyphosis, and improve the patient’s quality of life. This minimally invasive surgical approach can provide immediate pain relief to patients with minimal injury, quick recovery, and positive efficacy, and can be applied to elderly patients. The painful symptoms can be significantly improved after the surgery, and the patient can leave the bed normally on the second day after the surgery. It is a truly minimally invasive procedure that greatly reduces the patient’s time in bed.
